NEW CAFé & MINI STORE OPENED AT MEI HO HOUSE!

Renamed to echo with the historic architecture

To match with the hostel’s address as “Block 41 of Shek Kip Mei Estate”, we have specially named the new café “HOUSE 41” and the new store “MINI 41”. While in the front courtyard, that is the spacious outdoor space right at the hostel entrance, a old-time playground game “Hopscotch” has been sketched on the ground for public guests to have some nostalgic fun.

Innovative designs by 5 up-and-coming local artists

To extend the nostalgic Hong Kong flavour, we have invited 4 local up-and-coming artists to visit the café in person and create their masterpieces on site. They include Brainrental, Miloza, Tik Ka and McMary, who specialize in different style of painting. Through illustrating old-time school life, vintage toys, cartoon comics and old street views with their original techniques, they will together introduce the theme of “Sharing Happiness” in the café and convenience store area to invoke Hong Kong people’s collective memories.

East meets west – fresh & healthy fusion cuisine offered!

One of the missions of the café is to provide fresh and healthy food for customers. Apart from their signature dishes “Roasted Suckling Pig in Segovia Style with Apple Cinnamon Sauce” and “Beer Battered Sole Fillet with Fries and Salad”, the vegetarian dishes “Grilled Tofu Burger” and “Energizing Fruit Smoothies” are the choices that are worthy trying. It also offers HK-style fusion items such as “Egg Waffles with Peanut Butter and Caramel Banana” and “Almond tea with dried fruits” to match with YHA Mei Ho House’s nostalgic atmosphere. For the breakfast menu, 3 different sets are available for visitors to choose from, including Western-style breakfast, Continental breakfast for vegetarians and Chinese-style breakfast. In-house guests may also enjoy the breakfast along with the accommodation.
